On-site oxygen generation gives businesses more control over their industrial oxygen supply. It reduces reliance on purchased oxygen and scheduled deliveries. Oxygen can be piped directly to where it is needed or used to fill cylinders with a dedicated filling system.
KSTK configures on-site oxygen generation systems around oxygen demand, process requirements and site conditions, from routine operations to peak production periods.
Two sites can use the same amount of oxygen each month and still need very different flow rates. A site that uses most of its oxygen during a few shifts may need a higher flow rate than one that uses it steadily throughout the day. When sizing a system, KSTK considers daily operating hours and how many points need oxygen at the same time.
These details help determine the required flow and delivery pressure. Oxygen purity depends on the process. For applications that need higher purity, KSTK can provide oxygen at up to 99.5% purity, depending on the system configuration.
For businesses that buy bottled oxygen, the first step is to calculate current oxygen costs. Start with the number of cylinders purchased each month, the price per cylinder, and any delivery or rental fees.
Under the specified configuration and operating conditions, a KSTK cylinder filling system uses an average of about 9–10 kWh of electricity per cylinder. Multiply this figure by the local electricity rate to estimate the electricity cost per cylinder. Actual consumption depends on cylinder size, filling pressure and operating conditions. For a fair comparison, use the same cylinder size and filling pressure.
To compare the full cost of on-site oxygen generation with purchased oxygen, include equipment, routine maintenance and any cylinder filling equipment needed. Base both estimates on the same oxygen volume.
In aquaculture, the pipe layout depends on where the tanks are located and how much oxygen each tank needs. For oxygen cylinder filling systems, the number of cylinders to be filled each day and the target filling pressure help determine the equipment required.
KSTK designs and manufactures oxygen generation and cylinder filling systems to suit each project. KSTK also provides technical drawings, operating manuals and on-site installation guidance. Applicable certificates and test reports can be provided for project acceptance.
Once the system is in operation, KSTK provides guidance on day-to-day operation and routine maintenance. If the system issues an alert, the team can assess it remotely and plan the next steps. If a fault causes a shutdown, KSTK prioritises troubleshooting and arranges spare parts or on-site support as needed.
For businesses that use oxygen regularly, producing it on-site makes it easier to plan for peak demand and adjust supply as production schedules change.
Contact KSTK to discuss an on-site oxygen generation system. Share current oxygen use, purchasing costs, operating hours and process requirements so KSTK can recommend a system configuration and estimate operating costs.
